Styx - Blue Collar Man Lyrics
Written by tommy shawLead vocals by tommy shawGive me a job, give me securityGive me a chance to surviveI'm just a poor soul in the unemployment lineMy god, i'm hardly aliveMy mother and father, my wife and my friendsI see them laugh in my faceBut i've got the power, and i've got the willI'm not a charity caseI'll take those long nights, impossible oddsKeeping my eye to the keyholeIf it takes all that to be just what i amI'm gonna be a blue collar manMake me an offer that i can't refuseMake me respectable, manThis is my last time in the unemployment lineSo like it or not i'll take thoseLong nights, impossible oddsKeeping my back to the wallIf it takes all that to be just what i amI'm gonna be a blue collar manKeeping my mind on a better lifeWhen happiness is only a heartbeat awayParadise, can it be all i heard it wasI close my eyes and maybe i'm already there
